Guides for running the studio.
What equipment does a yoga studio need?
A yoga studio needs the props its scheduled classes use, space to store and clean them, room systems for sound, light, temperature, and ventilation, and a front desk set up for check-in and payments. Count props from the number of spots and the classes on the schedule, then choose a stated spare allowance. Count room and front-desk equipment separately because it does not scale one-for-one with the spot count. The list below uses that order and includes a 20-spot sample.
What policies should a yoga studio publish?
Publish the terms of each pass you sell, your booking and cancellation rules, membership freeze and cancellation terms, refund terms, and house rules for late arrivals, phones, photos, mats, props, and cleanup. Keep the liability waiver separate, and have your lawyer approve its wording, when students sign it, and how students accept the purchase and renewal terms.
What does a cancellation policy say?
State the deadline for canceling a class without a charge, define a late cancel and a no-show, and give the cost for each kind of pass. Say who can waive a charge and how a student can question one.
What goes in a yoga teacher job description?
A yoga teacher job description states which classes the teacher will lead and when, what they will do before and after each class, who they report to, the training and certifications you require, how pay is calculated, and the employment status the studio expects. State the schedule and pay rule precisely enough that a candidate can check their availability and calculate what each class would pay. The template below is a starting point. Fill in every bracket. Before publishing, have employment counsel review the expected classification, compensation terms, and posting requirements for the location where the teacher will work. Have your accountant check the pay calculations and payment schedule.
What are the flooring options for a yoga studio?
The options to compare are sealed solid or engineered wood, cork, bamboo, rubber, commercial sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl plank, carpet, and sealed concrete. Choose the product and installation together: confirm in writing that the manufacturer and installer approve the planned temperature and humidity, cleaning method, subfloor, moisture conditions, and use under mats. Treat carpet and bare concrete as options that need extra scrutiny, not automatic exclusions.
